/fit/... I need your assistance.
Anyone here owns a home gym? What are the pro and cons? Do you regret having spent that money?
I'm thinking of getting a olympic bar, some weights, a bench, and squat stand (and some other non important stuff) for about 450-550€.
I'll be able to bench, deadlift, squat, curl, ohp, do dips, chin ups pulls ups, all the good stuff a guy can do without machines.
Is this too much money ? I can't get a power rack, too poor. But i think this setup will do the trick

A rack where i live is pretty darn expensive and to be fair, i've been on all the gyms in my city and never even seen one...

>>34994565
perfect amount of hair
Unless you are into gaybros, some hair is the way to go
I shave my genitals, armpits, back, and shoulders. Leave my legs, chest, and abs looking like a man.
Hey sick cunts,
I've had a bulging disc for almost 9 months now.
Recently I've started dead lifting for the first time and squatting both with very low weight but high reps.
Is this a good method of rehab? I've also been stretching a lot .

Going on 6 months ago.. I eventually decided to stop anything that taxed the lower back at all and it seems to help, but I'll still randomly bend over slightly to brush my teeth over the sink and I can feel the dull pain coming from...

You think I should quit lifting?
I feel like that will make my back weak
>>34994328
go see a doctor m8
honestly i wouldn't do any hard work with my back if I had a bulging disc, nevertheless keep your form really tight and don't do some heavy ass weights, stretch your shit out and consult a sport doctor or the internet about this (not 4chan).
You jelly of my post workout meal?
>>34994236
I can down with the food, but I feel like mixing it with milk would lead to diahrea city. You should eat and a few hours later have the milk
>>34994236
That actually looks fucking disgusting.
Also, you actually have a Coca Cola glass in your home? Nice one, neckbeard.
>>34994244
It's OK, I'm white.
ITT: Foods you aren't tempted by because you never understood how people liked them.
Pic related for me. Seriously, why in the fuck do people eat muffins? They taste terrible, have awful texture, crumble all over the place, and are totally unpalatable without butter.
Fuck muffins.
You've obviously never tasted your mom's muffins.
I never really understood food in the first place. You eat it because you have hunger but why do you need to eat to get energy. Why can't I drink big to get big?
>>34994333
I've tasted your mom's muffin you fucking c.uckold
Alright /fit/ I'm having a huge argument with my friend is Chris Jones natty? I keep telling him hes not but he keeps going on about how natural his body looks
>>34994140
It doesn't matter if he is or isn't. You two are stupid faggots for arguing about this.
He trains with a retarded brosplit and he retains virtually all of his mass when he cuts.
He has an FFMI of 25.5, which puts him above what is considered to be the natural limit.
He is also a known liar and he even stole from a planet fitness.
>>34994257
>FFMI of 25.5
You do realize that the 25 natural limit is an average

How does she do it, /fit/? How is she not obese? She posts this shit every day.

RIP teeth
hmm i dunno maybe by not eating 8 pizzas every fucking day you retard?
I've been working out for quite some time now (a few years) and i have seen my lifts go up drastically, but I see no visible changes in muscle mass (athletic build, haven't seen increases though).
For example, I squat 350 for 10, but my quads look just like they did when I first began working out
>pic related
I don't take anything besides protein shakes after workouts and a high protein diet
What should I do? What am I doing wrong?
Shameless self bump, really need help
Post pics of when you started.
>>34994064
Eat more, faggot
At what age did you guys start lifting? I started at 13 now I'm a 20 yo manlet.
>>34994056
breh...
>>34994056
I started at 13 and it didn't stunt my growth at all, if that's what you were alluding to by mentioning your manlet status. In fact, since resistance training can boost HGH production, I tend to suspect it makes you taller if anything. That's provided you don't do anything stupid and herniate multiple discs, et cetera.
22 6'3" tallest in family
>TFW never been fat
What's it like?
You are literally always hungry.
It's fucking annoying.
>>34994024
I am so fucking high right now
You are very soft, like rolly polly.

Should fix you right up.

self help general? I dont have the links edition
personally Im just looking for websites/books/etc that have generally interesting topics or people come and discuss things. I like the joe rogan podcast, because a variety of interesting guests come on and talk about things they know a lot about or are passionate about. I just like diversifying myself a little bit. Looking to try out some new things in life. So any websites/books/etc you guys could recommend would be great.

Favorite it.

this seems geared almost entirely towards relationships with women from the contents. Is that all this is?
How do I quit visiting this place? I feel like visiting this shithole is my replacement for relationships because I don't have any. Not even internet friends since I quit playing vidya. I currently have two contacts on whatsapp and most of the time they don't really want to chat with an autist like me. The idea of getting friends seems a bit far-fetched because I've been friendless for uh.. seven years now I think.
desu I can't even eat my meals without opening my phone or browsing useless websites.
25th of august I tore my muscles and tendons in my shoulders when benching.
Few weeks later I got surgery, which went well. I've healed for 2,5 months now. Started lifting again, but how do I proceed the best with this injury? How should I train?
how much was u benching
Bro where is your fucking head? The fuck?
>>34993779
Ask a professional with experience and credentials not some faceless moron on an image board for cartoons.
>about to go to my first uni party on a saturday night
what the fuck do i do fit?
does alcohol kill gains?
should i drink a lot of milk beforehand?
alcohol is fine as long as you aren't getting hammered daily. Drink a little, it'll open you up, fuck some bitches
>>34993767
Have fun, drink a little but not a lot, get to know some cool guys and find a nice lady or two to have some fun with. Just relax, don't drop too much spaghetti, and don't get too fucked up and you'll have a good time.
>>34993767
Drink slowly.
Alcohol is social lubricant.
Drink until you feel comfortable talking with people you don't know
But don't over do it.
Keep track of how drunk you're getting.
Definitely eat something before hand.
Liquor has a much higher alcohol content so don't do too many shots.
1 shot ~= 12oz of beer
Occasional drinks are fine. Just don't do it regularly.
